Stay
A poem for the days that you feel so alone
the days you feel lost even when you are home
A poem for nights when your tears pierce your pillow
when your head hangs low like an old weeping willow
I want you to know just how perfect you are
like a sweet summer sky with each glowing star
I want you to know and I want you to feel
that the beauty in books is undoubtedly real
I want you to travel and to witness the world
feel the sand in your toes that cause them to curl
I want you to witness vast oceans and seas
To wander through forests and admire the trees
This world that we have has so much to live for
so I beg you please try just a little bit more
I know you are sad and I can’t soothe the pain
there’s fear in the air and a war in your brain
but I love you again and I beg you to stay
because darling without you I won’t last a day.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
